A recent survey by Opinium of 10,000 UK adults revealed a sobering one in 10 people have no close friends, and three in 10 feel lonely almost all of the time, the Christian Today website reports today (March 23, 2025).
God is love. When He created us, He imprinrted His image -- love -- within us. Just as a sunflower instinctively turns toward the sun, our souls naturally seek the source of life.
The problem? Instead of turning to God from whom we can receive true and complete love, we often seek fulfillment elsewhere.
We chase counterfeit versions of love -- relationships based on convenience, status, beaurty, or wealth. And when these superficial connections crumble, the emptiness creeps back in, and the cycle of loneliness starts again.
You know who can relate to this universal human experience of loneliness? Jesus.
Betrayed by Judas, abandoned by His closest disciples, and left to face unimaginable suffering,Jesus knows the pain of rejection and isolation.
Despite knowing He would be abandoned, Jesus showed unwavering love to the disciples till the very end. He humbled Himself , washing His disciples' feet, serving them with patience and grace . He didn't walk away when things got hard. Instead, He laid down His life -- because that's what true love looks like.
